The beginning of the inaugural ceremony for Hope College President John C. Knapp at Dimnent Memorial Chapel on Friday, Oct. 4, will be marked by a colorful procession of visiting celebrants from other colleges and universities, along with Hope College faculty members and representatives of learned organizations.

The order of appearance in the procession is determined by the institution's date of founding, oldest first. Harvard University, founded in 1636, will lead the procession. There will be 53 institutions represented, including representatives from universities in India, Japan, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

Approximately 150 members of the Hope College faculty will participate.
